ARTIST BIO
Born in Oklahoma, the youngest child in an Air Force family, artist Heidi has lived in many places throughout her life. She considers it a privilege to have lived in many parts of the U.S and experienced much of Europe, but the places most dear to her are in the American West. In the badlands of North Dakota, Heidi was drawn to horses. During her younger years in Colorado, Heidi's family, with dogs in tow, often spent weekends camping in
the Rockies. |
|
Her paintings naturally echo those memories as she primarily chooses horses, dogs and sunlit nature scenes as her subjects. Heidi is published in GaWaNi Pony Boy's book, "Of Women and Horses: More Reflections of the Magical Bond," published by Bowtie Press, 2005, and in Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion Magazine Christmas 2003 edition.
Heidi is an associate member of WAOW (Women Artists of the West), a member of CCA Gallery in Zionsville, IN and the Hoosier Salon. Heidi resides
in Indiana and works from her home studio. Her brother Paul Klusman is the filmmaker of the humorous short film, "An Engineer's Guide to Cats," featured on You Tube (click here to see the film). She and her husband, Brad, share their home with his daughter and two amusing,
lovable dogs.
